I think Jake’s gone to do the Commonwealth games in the hope that he makes a good impression on the big bosses who are already planning the London Olympic coverage…

As for Lee, she did a solid job I think. Didn’t seem to give the broadcast the same life that Jake does and I can’t quite put my finger on why, but I guess that Jake is just a lot more natural and comfortable in the lead role after nearly two years doing it.

And finally, as Hairs and Scribe have pointed out, I hope that Legard gets replaced by Croft for next season. Having the BBC1 commentary and 5Live commentary back to back really highlighted how poor and disjointed the main feed is. Many people will have heard Croft for the first time today (the casual viewers who just watch BBC1 or maybe the people who can’t be bothered/dont know what the red button offers) and I’m sure they would have noticed the difference in quality of commentary too. Brundle is being suffocated and is a shadow of his former self in the box, but with him and Kravitz on the main feed (and also the bad sync between the 5live audio and live picture) I find it hard to switch to the alternative commentary for the entire race and find myself having to put up with Legard, and his uninspiring repetitive drivel.

A Mauritius GP would be pretty spectacular to be honest. As you say, it’s not gonna happen, but we can all hope eh? Btw here is a pedometer version of my Liverpool track posted on the previous page :) youtube videos, footage and all!

This is an idea I made a while back for rFactor but only managed to get it half finished. The amount of work required to do all the buildings and trackside etc was too much for me on my own. But here is it anyways. I give you, Liverpool Waterfront Circuit! Completely based on real life (well, a few parts needed construction but I’ve done it exactly the way Singapore did it for extra realism), here are a few videos and screenshots (of various stages of development).
